It seems to work just fine for many sites.

Ahh.. but the crucial statistic is - how many of the OTHER 54 postings
were from list subscribers? If few/none were from subscribers, and all 7
of the "legitimate" ones were, that's an excellent case for semi-moderated.
Of course, if you are having a rampant virus/worm burn that's ejecting lots
of total garbage to your lists from subscribers, the only real solution here
is to get a proper virus filter and/or change to different e-mail software.
